Q,
I've seen enough with the black out reflectors to know I want that. However, after seeing this pic, I'm not sure about the taillights. Looks alot better on colors other than black.

J,
Yeah, I was gone 2 months, and I think my dad backed into the wall at work. Sure looks like concrete embedded in the paint. He needs to hurry up and get a new car so he can mess that one up instead. Maybe I should just take both sets of keys out here with me.

You guys share the FX? Just tell him to buy you a 350z or 370z and he can keep the FX.

I think he wants the new M, that's what he had for a 2 year lease that just happened to end around the time I left for school. He drives it every now and then just so it doesn't sit. We also have an old Tahoe that was my last car, and his before.
I have thought about buying a more fun car out here for school next year and he can keep that, but I'm too attached haha. Also didn't want to try and deal with him on that.

M37 or M56? The M's are really nice vehicles. My friend got a M45 not long ago and its definitely nice.

Most likely the M37, but I'll be pushing for the 56. Knew I would as soon as it was said they would put the big V8 in there. He had the 35 sport last time, so I wouldn't expect him to spring for the higher model.

Go with the Black out look....it will look great !

Stu, was that done in paint? I say do whatever you think will look good. In the end, it's your car, your money, and thus your decision ultimately. I personally think blacking out that lower white part looks good, but then the FX is my favorite affordable SUV so it's probably going to look good to me regardless.

I used photoshop so I could do the lights at a lower percentage of darkness. If you look at it too close it doesn't look as good, just have to do a quick glance haha. I'm still not 100% sure what I want haha.
